PRINCESS Margaret's historic mansion home is up for sale for just £375,000 – but buyers will still need deep pockets if they want to keep it.

Plas Dinas Country House, nestled deep within the Welsh countryside, was home to Princess Margaret and her husband Lord Snowdon in the early years of their marriage in the Sixties when they were one of the most famous couples in the UK. They raised their two children - Viscount Linley and Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones in the 17th century mansion, and it continued to be a weekend retreat for the couple during their 18 years of marriage.But in the years that followed since the demise of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon’s marriage, the home, in Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon in North Wales, has been turned into a 5 star country house. The 15 acre estate located between the Snowdonia mountains and the Irish Sea, boasts 10 ensuite bedroom, a drawing room, The Gun Room restaurant and a further dining room.

A spokesman for commercial agent Christie & Co, the company in charge of marketing the property, said: "This five star award winning country house hotel is steeped in history and is part of the Armstrong-Jones family estate, where in 1960 Antony Armstrong-Jones married HRH Princess Margaret.

"Plas Dinas still retains many family portraits, memorabilia and original furniture."

The mansion is on the market for £375,00 including a rental fee of £34,450 per year - but there is a catch.

The £375,00 fee will only grant the home owner a 23 year lease on the property.

Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, who is known as Antony Armstrong-Jones, married in 1960, and Lord Snowdon became the first commoner to marry into the Royal Family.

The couple had a tumultuous relationship, which was reportedly accompanied by regular partying and extra-marital affairs, in a series revealing the royals' marriage.

A BBC documentary, Princess Margaret: The Rebel Royal, which aired last year revealed Princess Margaret's isolated life during the breakdown of her marriage to Lord Snowdon.

Speaking about Lord Snowdon, Jane Stevens, a close friend of the Princess Margaret, said: “Tony stopped going with her on any of her public engagements, and after a while she realised he wasn’t going to, so she did all her pubic things on her own.

“It was naughty in a way because he married Princess Margaret, and therefore knowing who he was marrying, he should have helped her, but he didn’t.

“He stuck with the job he had, which had nothing to do with the Royal Family, and that was hard for her.”

The Royal couple separated in 1976 after 16 years of marriage, and divorced two years later in 1978.
